Planes, trains and automobiles at Franklin Park |
Description: |
Trains wait to leave Bensenville yard while traffic on Mannheim Road and I-294 rushes overhead. Meanwhile, at the top of the pic, Cathay Pacific Cargo flight #3287 blasts out of O'Hare for the 5.5 hour trip to Anchorage. I wonder how long it would take a freight car to make the same journey? |
